Add suffix ULL to constant 9 in order to give the compiler complete

using 32-bit arithmetic.

What does this number mean? If it is an index into some internal
database, please remove it.


This is a unique Coverity identifier. We want to keep information like public Bugzilla IDs and tools like Coverity on the commit message.

Thanks
